Ananta explains that while the false requires constant effort and energy to maintain, the truth is self-evident and requires only the cessation of mental activity to be recognized as one's natural state.

The truth does not need any recognition; it is only the false which needs preconditions.
Energy is needed for you to believe yourself to be something; the truth is effortless.
Coming to rest can initially feel like effort because we are so used to carrying the heavy bag.

So, the truth does not need any recognition. It is only the false which needs preconditions. That is, the preconditions: there must be a perception or some object, and there must be an interpretation of this perception, which is what sounds like more effort and false. The truth is most true. The work is a lot of... but I am well aware that when effort has become habit, then effort starts to feel like leisure, and coming to rest initially can feel a bit of a blow. That is why this Satsang is, if you like, you have to make the effort to come. It does not mean that you didn't realize that you also explained that this is keeping the heavy bag down, which can seem like effort as well.

But actually, the effort is on carrying. The effort perspective, in the sense that it is the one that consumes energy. Energy is needed for you to believe yourself to be something, you see? That does not mean anything moving at all, not at this motion. That whole consciousness is hidden, tired, because it's expending all this energy. Never too late. What is an unlimited reservoir of energy? And some better news is turned now. You're tired of the industry that exists in the design of the alarm clock. What is not good timing? And then what the game is, they're perfectly like we've been hanging out with some place, and then in the new friend comes, comes this more... actually this other place, and this is so much fun. I have a new friend, actually better reality. What God, God is here. Put this down, you.
